How soon can we expect a standard size extended battery?

let's face it, the HD2 extended battery is a little bit quasimodo-esqued and the BB is a little bit cumbersome when you're traveling light. How hard would it be to extract another 200mAh or so for a total of 1500mAh while maintaining the same standard size? Anyone here with knowledge as to what's in store in the horizon for an item like this?

HD2 is a bit to new for these to exist, best company will be Mugen batteries
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/
I had a standard size 1800mah for my pro 2 which worked very well, cost was around £20, so not the cheapest but was good quality

Lude,
Have you been to Mugen (sic?) to check if they are working on this/give them the idea, perhaps?

I went to the mugen link that chris posted but see nothing for the HD2 yet. Hopefully they'll jump on this soon.

Are you insinuating that it's difficult to get another 15pts for an A? If i were the student I would say to the teacher, "do your job at teaching better and I'll get that A."
It's not a matter of unachievable because HTC did that with the original diamond. The stock diamond battery is only 900mAh and soon after its release, HTC came out with the extended one at 1100mAh(?) or so...in standard size.

have you check their batteries?
New rear cover, giant size battery =/= slim phone
== brick
Would you like to have a brick instead of phone?

I'm assuming that you misread my original post

I am also waiting for one. Had one from MOMAX when I was using the HD. The extra 10% definitely makes a difference. A;so waiting for a battery charger with USB port (so as to be able to charge the phone as well).

yea I hope mugen or momax will jump on this opportunity. Im sure most of us will need all the extra power we can take without carrying extra equipment or sacrificing the slim look of the phone.

One thing I have noticed is the stock battery is a Lithium Ion 1230mAh battery and the aftermarket ones that I have been seeing are Lithium Polymer 1100mAh battery's. I have done quite a bit of research on battery chemistries and it seems odd that the aftermarket would be releasing a different battery to the manufacturer.
Edit: With regard to suppliers another good one is www.batterymill.co.uk

The one at MOMAX is Li-Ion but only 1100mAh. I can't for the life of me understand why they would release a battery that is lower in capacity than the original.

I hope that we see such a battery in the market soon
HTC HD2 with 1500 mah (standard size) will be perfect combination

Just bought a 1300 mAh on Ebay. Not much higher capacity than the original battery, but still higher...

I bought a "1700mah" one for my Touch HD and it worked exactly the same as the standard one so I'm a bit skeptical about performance claims of same size upgrade batteries even though the HD2 could really do with a boost!

Yea, those are a dime a dozen. Always make sure that it's from a trusted manufacturer and not some ebay seller...it also doesnt hurt to do a battery test to make sure the mAh is as advertised.

Highest capacity of battery

Hi all,
I would like to buy a same size as ori battery with highest capacity available in the market now..
Anyone know where could I get it? What is the battery capacity? And lastly what is the price range? Thanks ya.. I'm searching for it as i donwan to charge my phone twice a day.. quite irritating..
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using Tapatalk

there are a few ebay sellers who sell the genuine htc battery. just search for "genuine htc ba s520" on ebay. most are based in uk. all around 15 - 20 gbp.
you will find several chinese aftermarket batteries claiming higher capacity than the 1450mah of the genuine battery, but beware. none of them (i've tested a few) actually last longer than the htc battery, in my experience. and i don't know if the quality can be trusted. they do cost a lot less than the genuine battery so it is a cheaper option.

u can try dc mugen

I want higher capacity battery so that my phone last longer between charging.. not HTC ori battery with same capacity.. thanks ya..

If it would be possible to put more capacity in the same size battery HTC would have done that from the start, you're only option is to get one of those fat 3500mah batteries from ebay with a thicker battery cover, i'm thinking of getting one of those, unfortunatly i can't put a silicon case around the phone then ...

is anyone aware which is better battery among the custom makers ?
Will be great if that is available in India .

4000mAh Battery
Just bought one of those chinese 4000 mAh batteries on ebay.
The [email protected]#$%^ thing won't let me switch on mobile network (3G) ?????????!!

It may be an HTC issue, like Windows, doesn't like hardware changes, it may be the rear case,who knows?
It's a thumping big thing, twice the size, but I only get about another half a day.....Whooopeee.
Thankfully it was only about five bucks.
Anyone have a similar issue ?

SEIDIO SUPER EXTENDED LIFE BATTERY FOR HTC INCREDIBLE S

extended battery/door
Thanks mate, I'll take a look.

I've been using the previously mentioned Mugen 3700 mA extended battery (larger, yes, but I'm used to it already) for 2.5 weeks now.
I've completed calibrating and conditioning the battery thru the 5 discharge cycles as instructed, followed by some of the lore I've sifted from xda. It's been useful.
I used to charge in morning and had to be careful not to use my phone too much and need to charge again in one day if I used it a fair amount. My incS was used, so stock battery probably had wear.
Now I get two full days of moderate-somewhat heavy use, and very far into the 3rd day if I use it just for (many) texts and a few short calls and it sleeps half the time or more.
E.g., charged before bed, sat unplugged during sleep, heavy use today (gps for 30+ min, browsing, texts) and 71% capacity as of now.

Good try! how much it cost?

That's meant so far no identical battery with longer battery life (i.e. last 1 whole day for moderate to heavy use)? sigh...

Stick to genuine HTC batteries. Most of the Ebay fakes are far lower quality and often are mislabeled (especially if it claims higher capacity in the same form factor).
Your phone should last at least 24 hours on one charge though (unless you're using it very heavily). Try changing your habits a bit (turning off data/wifi when not using it) and also maybe try a battery calibration. If you do a battery calibration make sure you read a few guides on google and do it properly otherwise you will most likely be worse off.

Some aftermarket hi capacity battery need a special battery cover which makes it very ugly

I bought the 3500 mAh battery with fat back cover (from Ebay). Its a chinese ****s production... We know that on our IncS the antenna is placed inside of back cover. This chinese cover has some antenna as well, but the signal is much worse. For example with original cover I get like 4 full bars. With chinese ****s cover I get only 2-3 bars.
Im already having troubles with the signal in some places, but with this cover it will be even worse.. So I stay with my original HTC back cover. Dunno what to do with this 3500 battery..

why don't you buy another stock battery ?
i think stock one is gd enough.

I think that MUGEN 3600mAh is optimal high-capacity battery on the market. Its stable and reliable...

Has any1 tried using Seidio batteries for Incredible S?
Apparently, they claim to use Lithium Polymer technology as opposed to Lithium-ion.
Wikipedia says Polymer is superior to ion but also more expensive.
Only mobile manufacturer known to supply phones with Lithium Polymer batteries is Sony Ericsson.
Seido 3500mAH battery for HTC Incredible S is on eBay for $69. It says its assembled in Taiwan? Its also not as FAT as Mugen's but still needs a back door, which is included. They also have a website.
Mugen might have a new, superior competitor.

(Q) Ultra-High Capacity Samsung AB653850CE Gold Battery - 2430mAh

Have anyone tried this????
The ultra high capacity battery for Nexus S, boast 2430MAH but has the SAME SIZE with the original battery!!!

It's not the real capacity.
Put it this way: the OEM batteries are made with almost latest Li-Ion technologies. Unless there is a breakthrough discovery which will double the amount of energy stored per volume unit (in which case you will see this all over the news) any battery that will claim more than 10-15% energy boost in the same volume is a fake.
Take as an example the Momax batteries.
They've achieved to put 1700mAh in a battery the same size as the original 1500mAh used for Galaxy S (I had one of those on my ex GalaxyS) and indeed .. it was "a little" stronger than the original. Anyway, in order to get 2700mAh, the Momax battery got double the original volume (I also had this huge battery and indeed, had the claimed capacity).
Now ... just look over the internet after the manufacturer of these wonder batteries you're asking in your post and see if they really have the reputaion for "super-batteries" ...

Also Seidio make ultra batteries but are too big.

I found a review on Amazon for this battery. I always take these with a grain of salt as there are so many variables to conclude "Your Results may vary".
I found the OP's 2430 Double capacity battery on Ebay. I went through the reviews and a few savy users stated something similar to this.
Let's call it fraud. I was not expectin a 2.43mAh but gettin a 1367mAh is bad!

http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-BASI17...dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1
What a waste of time and money. I followed the instructions exactly. Charged it for 5 full cycles and allowed it charge after it was full. This is labeled as an 'extended battery' yet there is no extended life to speak of. If anything it at or worse than the original battery it came with. I also was experiencing more of my programs force closing than usually. If this battery was only $19.99 than maybe I wouldn't care as much, but at $50 you have to get what you pay for. Avoid and get an extra OEM Genuine Samsung Battery or an extra wall charger for work.

Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

are you sure that's even possible ? unless the battery was made of some other kind of materials, I have tyrouble seeing how you could store more power in the same battery size.
If you don't want a bigger phone, Your best bet would probably be to buy a second standard battery but it's a hassle to swap the battery when it's empty

If the battery is the same size it could in theory have more juice but it would be negligible. Seriously though, I picked up a charging cradle with battery charging slot and 2 spare batteries for $20. I also have a car charger and 3 chargers in my house. Unless you get a battery that is about double the size, you won't see a big difference and even then many batteries don't live up to their specs. Chargers and spare batteries are cheap. We're not dealing with smartphones of a decade ago where everything was proprietary and would cost at least $30 a pop.

I remember reading something about this... I think it might have even been on this forum but it was something along the lines of "Don't you think, if it were possible to fit more juice into the same size battery, that samsung wouldn't do that with their OEM batteries?"
Samsung, and I'm sure many other major device manufacturers don't just buy a battery off ebay and throw it in their phones. they spend time and money researching better battery technologies to get the best power/life they can.

It's my second day with an Andida 1850mAh battery, no big changes yet compared to my 8 month old 1500mAh OEM battery, i'll post back after a few complete drain and charge cycles.

How long have you had the battery? I'm looking for a new one as well but not if I am going to get scammed. Thanks!

Not Nexus related, but I have a vibrant that I got the Galaxy S 2 Epic 4G Touch battery for recently. Battery life went from about 6 hours to dead (month old 1500 mAh replacement battery bought at a phone hut) to 34 hours to dead (new samsung 1800mAh battery.) Nothing else changed.
My point is this:
1. If the above statements about samsung packing in as much as possible are true, why didn't the vibrant have a 1800mAh battery from the start? (hint, it is always about money.)
2. Take a crap 1500 mAh battery, slap a 1800 mAh sticker on it. People that buy these batteries will see an improvement because most generally they are replacing a worn out battery with a new one. Of course you will see an improvement, your worn out stock battery has only (arbitrary number) 600 mAh worth of usefulness left. The replacement is new and is not worn yet. (All arbitrary numbers follow) So, you will still see an improvement if you take a rated 1500mAh battery, that is labeled 1800mAh, but is in actuality only 1000mAh.
So asking if there is another, bigger, better battery for the Nexus made by Samsung, is a very valid question. So:

Because it is a device from 2 years ago (2010) and the S2 is from q3 2011. Maybe two years allowed them to cram more juice into the battery.
Maybe it wasn't viable then, to stick such a large battery, considering the power consumption of the vibrant compared to the S2. Maybe if they did the price would have gone up.
I highly doubt that Samsung would just stick different stickers on the same capacity batteries. maybe you had a defective or a non-original one. There are people that measure this kind of stuff. How much damage would Samsung's image suffer if someone found out that they sell a 1000 mAh battery with different labels and price tags?

I got a gold 2430 mah battery from ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2430MAH-HIG...093799?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c5edcdce7

"Take a crap 1500 mAh battery" In this case "crap"="non oem"
I figured that would be obvious with my prior "phone hut" comment. I guess not.

I am a big fan of the OEM batteries. I have not tested a non-oem battery that will perform anywhere close to the stated specifications so far.
If you guys find some good battery reviews, tests, etc. please post up.
Keep in mind that comparing a brand new "Craptastic Brand™" battery to your old worn out OEM battery is kind of pointless for getting a feel of the comparative quality/capacity of a battery.

I got a gold 2430 mah battery from ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2430MAH-HIG...093799?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c5edcdce7
i don't know about it holding 2430mah, but it's far better than my 1 year old stock battery. i can post some battery usage stats later.

okey, does it work properly? Think I maybe buy one, it wasn't too expensive!

yes, it works properly. I had used my original battery for 12 months when I switched over to this one. The improvement was very noticeable.
I just charged my phone to 99%, I will report back in 24 hours with battery information and battery history since unplugged.

Sounds great!

New, better battery

Hi, Is there any better battery than stock on Ebay?

Yes, I use One from AkkuKing and One form PolarCell and both are better then the stock battery..

There are 2 kinds of battery replacements, the ones that have the same size as the original one, and the ones that are bigger and come with a replacement back cover for your phone in order to fit in there.
The first kind is usually ineffective. The Mah listed by most of those batteries is greatly exaggerated and poor quality control makes getting one of them a lottery. You might get one that lasts a little longer, but it might start to deteriorate after a month of usage, or it might be worse than the stock battery from the start. The only exception to this rule is the Mugen power 1700 Mah battery, but the cost of that one is almost unreasonable.
On the other hand while the fatter batteries do work, they will transform your phone to an unpocketable miniature whale. You will also be unable to find any cases big enough for the phone.
I am in the same situations as you and i decided to go for the Mugen, it is expensive but it's reliable and performs better than the stock battery.

which mugen?? extended or stock?
and what about anker...are they any good??

is there a big difference from buying a new battery, i cant remember how long the phone lasted when i just bought it, ya they sell it at the lg service centre

Actually my battery used to suck on standby ...like when I sleep after 7 hours around 35- 50% gone...but with this original it's only like 3 %

Anker batteries are supposed to be good quality but i can't find the normal sized model anywhere and even if i did, it has the same MAh as the OEM battery, so i don't see a reason not to get the LG battery instead. The fat 2800 MAh model is good but i don't want to double the size of my phone. For that same reason i am not interested in the Mugen Power 4500 MAh battery, i will go for the 1700 MAh version instead.

Actually I got the battery from grey market here in Bangalore India it looks exactly same as original exactly same means from exactly you just can't differentiate ...but after a month it became futile hold same charge if you use our not will discharge in 4 hours

Jeez, huge difference between 1700 and 4500.. Almost 3x lol

Yes, the same multiplier is applied to the size of the phone

Such a waste of space the whole backlid should be a battery not only the dimention behind oryginal battery place...

How long your battery drains in standby, like when you sleep on night if it's 100% after 7 hours how much you get when you get up?
